A Bride and Groom In Trouble.

Those who read the following incl
dent may think it amusing, but it was
no laughing matter for the young
couple who were the principal actors
in it. 1t is possible some OF the re-
Gently married people who may read
it may have a keener appreciation OF
the agony of the young people than
those who have been married q longer
time. A correspondent writes: "a
young and innocent-looking couple
went shyly into the Office of the
county clerk in our town. He was so
happy that his face glowed, and a
brighter lustre seemed to have been
given the cheap and very shiny black
suit of clothes in which he was dressed.
He had q white necktie, and black
gloves with red and green stitching on
the back.
"The young woman worew with mani
fest pride a drab poplin dress. plenti-
fully besprinkled with white ribbon
bows; her hands were in white cotton
gloves; a white hat, with a white tissue
veil punched up all over it, and falling
to her waist, was on her head.
"The county clerk knew very well
what this style of costume indicated,
and wasnot in theleast surprised when
the young man came forward and said,
with a shipper
"tId like-to-to-buy a marriage
license
Yes said the clerk.
"'How much is it?'
".Three dollars
"'Yes, that's what / thought, and |

1.-THE smile on his round face gave
way to an almost CHASTITY pallor, as he
hastily drew his empty hand out othis
pocket.
"'Why, I-I-put that pocketbook
right in here"
every pocket was searched. The
preston by this time.
Mother said | ought to- pin my
pocket up, OF put my money in my
hankcher, he, said as he stood before
his bride q picture OF distress.
1.-THE brides voice trembled, as she
said, Can't you fi~ti-nd it anywhere,
Jason?"
Ono, Mandy, I can't he said with
a suggestion of tears in his voice.
But Fvegot fivedollsrs more athome,

and then not git married."

when we go back home no more mer-
ried than we was when we come away?
and she put her handkerchief to her
eyes
&" We'll, there's no use bellerin',.
Mandy SAID Jason, the tears III his
own eyes.
""And there's everybody invited to,
the weddin' party to our house to-
night ldon't see what eve made you
90 and lose that money!
"'I couldn't help it, Mandy
""YOu ought to have been careful:

1.-The brides fearful blue eyes and
he elequence OF her appeal were too
much for the clerk. He hastily made
1ut the license, becoming responsible
it himself, and the bride and groom
vent away happy.
Before moor the next day the
Toung Benedict came in with the three
lollars and a whole basket full of fix
MS from the wedding-supper of the t
hight before. "-Youth's Companion.

New YORK. April 29.-To-day's stock
market exhibited increased dullness
throughout the day, until the last
hour, when there was renewed activity
and considerable excitement. The

an upward direction, accompanied
by largely increased business.

CASTLE HALL, was the scene last
Tuesday evening, Of another one
of those social entertainments
which the Knights of Pythias
have inaugurated tor the pleasure
loving people, during the fall and
winter season. Sir Knights Stew
art, Fitzpatrick and Reid were
floor managers and committee on
reception. In consequence of the
inclemency:of the weather, the ar
tendance was not so large as at
the first dance given, yet never
theless, there was more than
enough present to keep2from four
to five sets of dancers on the floor,
from 9 o'clock in the evening when
the dancing began, until the wee
sma' hours aboon the twa." A
mongst the many handsome and
charming ladies who adorned the
Castle with their presence, we
noted Mrs. Col. Heman, Mrs. L..
W. Stewart, Mrs. DR.. Paden,
Mrs. Gov. Chase, Mrs. P.
and Jas. Reid, Mrs. A. Ridge
way, Mrs. Vim. Chase, Mrs. r.
Fulmer, Mrs. j. Couch, Mrs. Ed.
Keely, Mrs, J. Campbell, and Mrs.
John. Shannenhouse--The Misses
Ida and Mamie Green, Ina Wan
chope. Portia Hill, Carrie Jacobs
and Katie Nackel. One of the
young ladies got hold OF our re-
porter, and whispered in his ear,
"That the Knights were Just toe
nice for anything, the hall was
splendid, and the dancing ever sc
lovely"

from the scene of their union to

WHITE OAKS REAL ESTATE
BOOM.

On last Saturday, the Town
Trustees sold 80 lots for the bene-
fit of the school fund. The bid
ding was spirited and the sale
brought an advance of $74S.5O
more in price than the most san
guine OF our real estate men
supposed the property would bring
at public sale. The lucky purcha-
sers were Supt. Schrontz, of the
South 1omestake Mining Co., 4
lots; Col. T. w. Heman, Is lots
r. McGinnes, 1 lot; II. @. Reel,
l lot /; Joshua Hale, 3 lots (Mr.
Hale bid 400 per cent of the ap-
praised value.) Ed. Uebrick, 1

Where is there a town in New
Mexico without railroad facilities
that can make as good showing
for one little real estate transaction,
and whilst we have no desire tc
crow over our big railroad towns,
such as Albuquerque, Las We

in referring them with honest
pride to the quiet, energetic enter

Oct. 3rd, 1887.

Tired as an army after long
march, were the members of the
q. A. r on Friday night, the last
night Of September. Mud had
carpeted our roadway for a week,
and an incessant rainfall had satu-
rated our clothing, and well nigh
permeated our anatemies. Fatigue
had overcome us, and seats on out
going trains from St. Louis seemed
elysiums. But what rush at the
Union Depot, trains pointing ev-
cry way andg passengers soliciting
pointers as To which were their
trains. All departed behind time {;
filled to suffOcation, but the pros
pect OF soon reaching home buoy
ed up veteran hearts and peans to
the Flag and Union, threatened to
lift the car roofs as the sound of
the whistle gave notice that we
were ready to leave the rain-soak
ed city, "by the river"
We took transportation for this
burg by the popular G. B. IL O.,
but at or about midnight, had to
lie up at an obscure point in Hi
nois, until freight car which had
swung from off the track, could be
replaced, and it was not until long
alter daylight on Saturday morn
ing before the highway was open
ed for us, and instead OF reaching
Rock Island Situate opposite this
city on the Mississippi River,) at
6 30, it was 10 40 ere we arrived.
While at St. Louis, we had walk
ed in the rain ana mud so much
that Il dollars worth of flesh was
taken off our right heel, and ahght
ing from the cars we must have
looked like a soldier just returned
from the war, but our limp would
not have suggested wound which
